Windows 8.1 Upgrade / IE11 - FTP Problems - by MChiasson

Status :

Description

We use a document management system that relies on FTP credentials to upload documents into our repositories. Numerous users began having issues after upgrading their Windows 8 workstations to Windows 8.1. Files will upload into our system but be corrupt. We've tested numerous things and narrowed this down to only Windows 8.1 users.
After searching on the net it seems there are numerous people complaining about a completely unusable FTP service after upgrading to IE11 (part of the 8.1 upgrade). This has effected our business is a very negative manner and we need an immediate resolution. Please alert me when a fix is available.
